Is a serial to ttl converter like a MAX232 chip? Here's what I'm using to interface a dsPIC with a laptop: http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/max232.html

There's a link for a free sample too.

You want a serial to TTL adapter, or a USB to TTL adapter? Most computers don't have serial these days . . .

You *did* google search, riiiggghhttt? ;)
